SALISBURY — Authorities have released the name of a woman who died in a wrong-way car crash in Salisbury on New Year’s Eve.

Police say 41-year-old Donna Bergeron was a passenger in a car driven by 50-year-old Mikhael Sarkis that was driving north on the southbound side of the Gillis Bridge that carries Route 1 over the Merrimack River at about 11:20 p.m. Monday.

Sarkis and two other passengers were injured.

The driver of the other vehicle, a 20-year-old Salisbury man driving home from work, was also injured, although not seriously.

Police say the crash remains under investigation but they expect to charge Sarkis.
